Peter, a direct disciple who knew Jesus Christ personally, did not believe what you are saying. He believed what he said.

Peter got the memo, correctly.

Gal 2:11-14
11 When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.
12 Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.
13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.
14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?

Peter was not only hanging out with the Gentiles, but he was eating with them. Peter knew exactly what the vision meant.

Correct and a great illustration. There is nothing in scripture that prohibited Israelites from dining with gentiles. There was nothing "unclean" about gentiles that was going to contaminate the food.

Lev 19:34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

"Strangers" in the old testament were those not of Israel...gentiles.
